In order to participate in the WCS, teams need to be made up of 2 members, characters have to come from Japanese titles, and costumes have to be handmade. The first team to appear on stage was called "Gekidan Hobo Mushoku." They assumed the roles Soto (Chancellor) and Yoshida-kun from "Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume" (Secret Society Eagle Talon). The audience really took to their comical performance!

The team put together an original performance that featured Kitakyushu-related contents. Mr. Morita shared his feelings of gratitude towards the team by thanking their efforts to promote Kitakyushu City!
